The District Attorney Informs Him
Maloney is to Return and Testify.
NEW York. June 11.--Before the reas-
semblihg of the Oyer and Terniner Court
yesterday, after the recess, Mr. MARITIME
called Mr.. Nelson and Mr. Sticxney aside
and made the following statement: eve
deem it proper at this stage Of the case, to
inform you that William Maloney, the
reading clerk of the 1875 board of AL
dermen, has turned States evidence, and
will testify at the trial We tell you this in
order to be fair and not to take you by sur
prise. You have ample time to make such
arrangements as you please" On the adj
iournment OF the court Messrs. Nelson and
Sticl1ney took Mr. Sharp in one Of the va
cant court rooms, where a long private
consultation was held. Mr. Sharp
says that no testimony that Maloney
can give will injure his case, as he does not
believe that twelve men can find an limo
cent man guilty. He also says that the YER
dict of guilty. with its consequent impris-
omment, would be a sentence of death to
him. Neither the District Attorney, nor
either of his assistants will confirm or deny
the runlor that Maloney has returned.

Burglars at Lulaton.
WAYcRoss, GA, juno 11.-At Lulaton,
Wayne county, last night the store of J. L..
Courson was burglarized and the safe blown
open. Two hundred and fifty dollars in
cash, besides valuable papers and notes,
were taken, as also goods from the shelves.
Some of the silver was found near by,
whence it had been blown by the explosion.
Mr.. Courson. who lived near by, did not
hear the noise. Suspicion rests upon two
strange white men who we're seen in the
vicinity few days previous, but their
whereabouts is not known. Other than this
there is no possible clue.
A dastardly outrage was attempted on the
person Of Mrs. Taylor, at st. Marys river.
near Folkston, night before last. Milton Jen-
kins, vicious negro, entered the house I'M
observed shortly after Mr. Taylor, who is
the Waterman for the Savannah, Florida
and Western railroad at the st. Mary
bridge, had left for his night watch, and Sc
erected himself until Mrs. Taylor had retired.
He then proceeded 10 execute his hellish
crime. Fortunately, Mrs Taylor discov-
cred him ere he could hush her cries by
graphing her throat, and she cried Justify,
and help soon came and drove the monster
from the threshold before he had accom-
plished his object He was pursued and cap
tured, and had preliminary trial and was
committed. He was then turned over to
Sheriff T. B. Henderson, of this county, and
is now securely fettered in the Waycross

Havemeyers Sugar Houses Destroyed
With Contents-Loss 100000.
GREEN POINT, L. l., June 11.-Have-
meyer Sugar Refining Company's sugar
houses at Commercial street and Newtown
creek were destroyed by fire early this morn
ing. The buildings, which covered nearly
half an acre of ground, were of brick, and
We're six, eight and ten stories high. The
ten-story structures were erected five years
ago at a cost OF $500 900. The contents,
consisting of about 5000 barrels of refined
sugar, 100000 gallons of liquid and the
valuable machinery, are a total loss. They
were worth about 800, 900. The Insured is for
about half that amount. The total loss on
the building is about 100000. Foreman
Demarest states that the fire originated IN
the liquor rooms on the fourth floor from an
explosion of the overheated liquor. The
flames spread rapidly, and the 200 men en-
ployed had barely time to escape. A report
was circulated that from five to twenty-five
lives were lost, but inquiries show that only
one man is missing. He is Bohemian and
is supposed to be on the place somewhere.
The fire was got under control at 4 O'Clock
this morning. The adjoining buildings mar
rowly escaped destruction.

ARMY MEASURES IN FRANCE.
New Military Bills to be Introduced
President Grevy Defended.

PARIS, June 1.-THE Cabinet has decided
not to oppose the motion for urgency for the
army bill. The ministry will shortly intro
duce measures to increase the defensive
forces of the republic and to arrange for the
triennial service system. Before the pres
ent bill now under discussion is adopted an
administrative committee will be appointed
to study the best means of securing the uni
fcation of military regulations in the dis
tant French possessions III India and China
The Pdir denounces the Republican papers
for attacking President Grevy. It denies
that he has compounded with the Right, and
declares that his conduct i'll the recent min
isterial crisis was constitutional and fair
GERMANY's METHODS COMMENDED.
In the Chamber of Deputies to-day the
debate on the army bill was continued NJ.
Keller opposed three years service, which
he said, sacrificed the quality to the mum
bers In order TO induce every one to ac-
cept military discipline, he said, it was
necessary for the government TO show a
Christian spirit. France should initiate
Germany and make a religious peace NJ
Keller appealed to the Chamber not to dis
cuss the various clauses Of the bill. Gen
Ferron, Minister of War, maintained that
the existing law was first of all the
law for the national defense.
France should make gigantic eff
forts to secure independence. The
three years service could not lower the i'll
tellectual level of the nation. All classes
would be enlisted, but the studies of the
students would be interrupted as little as
possible, and the bill ought to be absolute.
Gen. Ferron appealed to the Chamber to
pass the bill, which, he said, was necessary
for the defense of France. Gen. Ferrons
speech was greeted with applause.
~ Many then moved for urgency of the
bill. Gen. Ferron left the matter of urgen-
cy to the discretion of the chamber. NJ.
Clemenceau reproached the government for
having no views of its own in such an inn
poitant question. He inquired whether
there was a tacit agreement between the
ministry and the Right The extreme Left
insisted that the government explain
whether such was the cause M. Rouvier
declined to explain. Urgency was then
voted for the bin, the Chamber on division
standing $50 TO 205 The Chamber then, by
vote Of 1856 to l25, proceeded to discuss the

day night he met with most exciting adj
venture near Magnolia Grove, about seven
miles from st. Augustine
Whiledriving alonga narrow road, which
led through the swamp, he heard strange
noise, and thinking an alligator had cap
tured hog and was trying TO kill the
porker, he got out of his wagon to make an
investigation.
Soon he was rewarded by seeing the I'M
usual sight of q terrific combat between a
seven-foot panther and n huge alligator.
Interested in the struggle, Ponce looked on
and finally seeing that the saurian was get

bullet from the hunters rifle stopped the
fight. AS soon as the alligator was disposed
of, Mr.. Ponce attempted the some act with
the panther, but did not succeed in infiicting
a fatel wound, and the Infatuated animal
leaving its late antagonist, sprang ferocious-
ly at the new assailant, and desperate
fight ensued. Exhausted by its previous
row, the panther, however, soon succumbed
to the terrific blows which Ponce dealt it
with the butt-end of his rife, and the victor
soon had the satisfaction OF ending the con-
lict by a well-directed blow on the animals
head. Putting the huge brute in his wagon
Mr.. Ponce returned to town and sold the
skin to Mr.. o. B. Smith, Of st. Augustine,
who will have it stuffed. When weighed

BENSON, ARR, June l1.--At dark Thurs
day night Lieut.. johnson was only half an
hour behind the Indians who are ON the
warpath, but during the evening they threw
him off the track. The renegades appear to
have experienced leaders, probably some of
the Cooks
MORE INDIANS THAN REPORTED.
CHICAGO, June ia special from No
gales, Ari., says: The indications go to
strengthen the belief that the small number
OF Indians reported on the warpath is mis-
take, as bands have been seen in widely
separated sections of the country on the
same day.
A telegram from San Carlos stating that
there are hostiles in Santa Catalan, has been
received in Santa Barbara, and Patagonia
mountains, near this place, are ablaze with
immense fires, which are no doubt started
by the Indians for the purpose of covering
up their tracks.
Yesterday afternoon a report was
received from Calien to the effect that Lieut.
McNutt and his men had a running fight
with the hostiles, but later a courier came
INTO the soldiers camp and reported that
the troops ran upon a party of Indians, and
at the time of his leaving were chasing
them over the hills 1t seems evident that
the intention of the hostiles is to reach
Sierra Madre. The country is full of sol
diers and it is almost impossible to see how
the raid can last much longer.
PUSHING THE PURSUIT.
NoGALEs, ARR, June 11.-Capt. Lee was
yesterday preparing to go into the field in
person in pursuit Of the hostile Apaches. In
reply to question he produced the follow
ing dispatch from Gen. Forsyth, the COM
mander at Fort Huachuca
HUAoHUcA, June 0.
To Capt Lee:
Lieut.. Smith sends word from Pantano that
Capt. Lawton is following the trail 1t leads
toward Crittenden, thence back by the way of
Davidson's ranch to within six miles of Pan
tano He is still on the trail. The Indians were
turned back by seeing Captains Hartsfield and
Martin. Send word to Capt. Martin to stay
where he is, keeping sharp lookout in case the
Indians double back again on Capt Lawton
Tell him to keep sharp eye on the trails lead
